With every game that goes by, there’s an obvious improvement with Chivas USA’s on-field performance, and that it due to the leadership brought by Head Coach Jose Luis ‘Güero’ Real to the club. In the last three games, the Red-and-White have been able to add three points after three consecutive draws, maintaining themselves unbeaten since Major League Soccer’s Week 17 and turning the page on a negative streak.

This Friday, the Goats will look to add three points in their last game in their 10-day tour where they have already faced FC Dallas, Montreal Impact and they now just have one more game against Philadelphia Union at PPL Park.

“Unfortunately, the results have not been on our side this season. That doesn’t mean that now, with the points we’ve earned, we can say that we’ve taken a huge step, the most important one. But without a doubt, the way the team has played, it assures us that we’re going the right direction, that we’re improving day-by-day,” ‘Güero’ Real said about the team performance.

With full determination to regain a positive path in MLS’ regular season, Chivas USA took a step in the right direction by acquiring the services of experienced players like defender Carlos Bocanegra and forward Erick Torres, players who could be available to the Red-and-White coach for this Friday’s match.

“Without a doubt, they’re arriving as reinforcements. That means a lot because they’re players with known quality. What they’ve done; Bocanegra with an international career, regular with the U.S. National Team, very important. Erick comes as a player that has done a lot of very important things even though he’s very young,” the Chivas USA Head Coach said about the new acquisitions.

Aside from the players with huge experience that are joining Chivas USA, the Red-and-White continue to show their loyalty to developing players from their Academy by signing young forward Caleb Calvert, who in the 2012/2013 season scored 22 goals in 28 games. The 16 year-old player could also be considered as a reinforcement in this match, which will mean his club and League debut if Jose Luis Real requires him so.

“He’s a player with a lot of future, with different characteristics, special, and I’m sure he’ll get his moment,” Real said about Calvert. “We at Chivas, whether it’s Guadalajara or Chivas USA, what we want from our youth is to develop them winning; it’s not just about the development or just winning. It’s about developing by winning.”
